TV and Text Messaging

Just a random thought I had, and I’m not entirely sure how it came about.

You know how television has been marketing with text messages and whatnot? Like, you send them a message and they’ll tell you when the next new episode of your favorite show comes on– stuff like that.

I’m going to use Heroes as an example, because I love the show and can’t wait for the next season.

I think it would be cool if, during some crazy plotline, Claire was to send a text message. Now, in the show, the text message generally wouldn’t be shown– but since you’re an uber-nerd and you signed sent them a text message– a synchronized copy of the text message was sent to your phone. Depending on what it said, you may or may not know who it was to, but there would be an added bit of interactivity because you have some insight on what Claire was thinking and needed someone else to know at that moment.
